The main WPJJC event only comes around in April, in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. But the mood surrounding the event will already heat up in January, when yet another leg of tryouts for all-expenses-paid travel to the UAE is held in Brazil.
The Rio trials, always one with the deepest talent pool, is set for January 19 and 20 at Ginásio Caio Martins in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro State.
Big names of world Jiu-Jitsu are confirmed to be there, like the heavyweights Rodolfo Vieira (GFTeam) and Gabi Garcia(Alliance). And you can get in on the action too, by clicking here.
